  • Patent number: 8913884
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heater block for a rapid thermal processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a heater block in which heating lamps are densely arranged in a tessellation. The tessellation has a structure such that the plurality of heating lamps are arranged at right angles to form a zigzag line, and the thus-formed zigzagged line is repeated such that the zigzagged line is combined with the adjacent zigzagged line. According to the present invention, a temperature gradient caused by a void between heating lamps is prevented, and heating lamps are densely arranged to increase heat density for a heat radiation area as opposed to conventional heater blocks, thus achieving improved heat treatment efficiency using less energy.

  • Patent number: 4281841
    Abstract: An all metal reusable O-ring sealing arrangement for sealing two concentric tubes in an ultra-high vacuum system. An O-ring of a heat recoverable alloy such as Nitinol is concentrically positioned between protruding sealing rings of the concentric tubes. The O-ring is installed between the tubes while in a stressed martensitic state and is made to undergo a thermally induced transformation to an austenitic state. During the transformation the O-ring expands outwardly and contracts inwardly toward a previously sized austenitic configuration, thereby sealing against the protruding sealing rings of the concentric tubes.
